Hi, I have just been reading a Google alert for RLS, and the results seem really interesting!

It is called the Protein Profile for Restless leg syndrome, and it is in a publication called medicalexpress.com, I have tried to paste a tag, but cannot, they have done a study on the spinal fluid in patients with RLS and found 6 different proteins that are distinct in the syndrome. Apparently, it could open up lots more more treatment ideas, worth a look!

Yes, I saw that. I feel the same way. I saw Nightdancer's blog back from a few months ago, and this is what she seems to be talking about. All of these proteins are in the spinal fluid from what I can read. I need to do a lot of reading! LOL

I think you had better be my official link manager, lol! I just can't get to grips with it on my my tablet!

I have talked on here about the same thing to Nightdancer, and we are both of the opinion that our spinal problems could be at the heart of the RLS for us, obviously not necessarily for every person, but the research is looking promising, at least it is being taken seriously!

I have also heard about the spinal fluid excitability. It does seem Nightdancer is on the right track in her blog where she talked about spinal cord fluid excitability back a few months ago. The protein profile backs that all up, and why did that discussion turn into a spelling lesson? I just joined today, so just a newcomer's observation. This is extremely important information for us who suffer from RLS. Mine has been a life issue, first the left leg, then both, then into the arms, etc. I see by many posts that a lot of people get RLS in their arms, too. so, hi to everyone! Am looking forward to getting to know you. We ALL have a lot to learn, that is for sure, and with lots of new research going on, there is a light at the end of a very long tunnel.
